People (including chefs) have different tastes and sensitivity to salt. If there was no salt on the table and I wanted salt, I would have said to the server "Please bring us some salt". That's 5 words. Your post is 236 words. Life's short. Move on.

Her food would be so much better with some salt and ground pepper, but she adds little, if any, and they NEVER put it out on the table. I'm afraid of insulting the cooks by asking, except for corn on the cob (twice in a bunch if years). When it's a 'guest' scenario, how do you recommend handling this situation? I consider my in-laws pretty formal/old-school, or it wouldn't be a big deal to simply ask. Uncomfortable.
